Uploading files to the database or to the download folder, and then saving the link to the database?

I would like to save the link in the database and upload the image somewhere on your web server. Or, if you save the image in the database, save it as a thumb, this will keep your database size under control and your db size will be acceptable. Databases, in my opinion, are for data, not for assets such as images.

Files uploaded: http://www.playframework.org/documentation/2.0/JavaFileUpload

How I did it:

View

, enctype ( twitter)

@helper.form(controllers.orders.routes.Task.save, 'class -> "form-horizontal", 'enctype -> "multipart/form-data")

:

@inputFile(taskForm("file1"), '_display -> "Attachment", '_label -> Messages("file"))


// first i get the id of the task where I want to attach my files to
MultipartFormData body = request().body().asMultipartFormData();
List<FilePart> resourceFiles = body.getFiles();

:

for (int i = 0; i < resourceFiles.size(); i++) {
    FilePart picture = body.getFile(resourceFiles.get(i).getKey());
    String fileName = picture.getFilename();
    File file = picture.getFile();

    File destinationFile = new File(play.Play.application().path().toString() + "//public//uploads//"
        + newTask.getCode() + "//" + i + "_" + fileName);
    System.out.println(play.Play.application().path());
    System.out.println(file.getAbsolutePath());

    try {
    FileUtils.copyFile(file, destinationFile);

    TaskDocument taskDocument = new TaskDocument(newTask.description, "/assets/uploads/"
        + newTask.getCode() + "/" + i + "_" + fileName, loggedInUsr, newTask);
    taskDocument.save();
    } catch (IOException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

commons, Build.scala:

val appDependencies = Seq(
// Add your project dependencies here,

                System.out.println(newFile.getPath()); //this path you can store in database
            }
